Be it known that I, ROBERT CREUZBAUR,

'a citizen of the United States, residing inv the city of New York, in the county ofKings and Stateof NewYork, have invented eertain new and useful Improvements in Motors; and Ido hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and eizact description o the. invention, auch as will lenable others skilled in the art'to which. it pertains to make and 'use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,l lwhich form partof this specication. i y

My invention relates to that class of motors in Which a constant mass of elastic fiuid is alternately heated and'cooled with corresponding increase and decrease of ita` pressure or volume or both during each cycle of the working piston motion, such different pressures acting constantly upon such piston without an intervening valve; no exhaust ofv such fluid taking place.' The type of Such,

motor is'best illustrated by the Stirling 'air engine as patented bvtJamesStirling and.

by Robert shining ai 1816, 1827 and 1840'.

The main in'iprovement herein described isthis: Intlie said Stirling motor the elastic working ymedium used is shifted.. from the hot to the cool end yof itscontaining vessel, and vice versa, by areciprocating'displacer. Whereas in the motor herein described the elastic medium auch asair or steam, is so shifted by means of a rotating displacer, the. Amotor being modied accordingly,

thereby` gaining great advantage. I attain my objectiby the mechanismillustrated in the accompanying drawings in which` i" i#Figures 1 and. 2 are vertical cross-sections .at right angles to each other of a `'sin le act-` ing motor, Figi centrally through ig.2g and Fig. 2 along the line 2-f2 Fig. l1.

tothe The-motor represented by'Figs. l, and 3,'

is single acting and of the simplest form. The chamber B, B is a horizontal cylinder its upper coolin part B being cast in one piece with its Iower heating part B, the chamber being open on the left, closed by a cylinder cover I), upon which the lubricatingchamber K may be formed integrally. The chamber in this modification of my invention, as well as in the others herein referred to, corresponds in shape to the shape of the Irotary displacer so that said displacer will act in relation to the chamber so as to cause the vapor to be heated in one part of the rotation and expanded in another whereby The working-cylinder E opens directly into cylinder B, B and may be cast in one .piece with it, together with regulating chamberA. The piston D is made long enough to'give guiding surface, and is arranged to travel close kdown tothe path of the displacer C, which rotates in the heating and cooling-chamber B, B', its inner end-face being concave correspondingly so as to reduce the clearance between the piston and the dis lacer to a minimum. The displaoers C, are cylinders, cutaway at the periphery as shown at C, soas to form a space or pocket for the working air or steam.l This cutting away of the periphery of the displacers may be done with a straight or concave contour, instead of the convex contour shown. vIn addition to the cutting away of the periphery, the ends may also be'cut away as shown in Fig. l and dotted in Fig. 2, whereby the bulk of steam or air isexposed to a greater heating or cooling surface.. If air or steam could be heated or cooled instantly, the center of the cut-awa portion of the displacer, operating as ,ind1- cated by the arrow, might 1n a single acting engine stand at the right Fig. 2, at rightangles to the connecting rod, the piston being at the upper end' of its stroke as represented. But as it takes an appreciable time for the air to heat or cool, lead is given to the cut-away part C5 of the displacer.

The required lead of the displacer is from 60 to 70o for air and considerably less for steam, which, if saturated or cloudy, is far more rapid in taking ulp or surrendering heat. When the working-cylinder E opens directly into the chamber B, B with direct connection between the piston D and the displacer by connectino rod d, the displacer' has to be constructed in two parts C, C so that the parts C, C of the displacer are connected by crank pin N, and are rigidly kept apart at the proper distance, either by the end-taper of pin N as in Fig. l or by the shoulders upon the pin N as in Fig. 6, or by a separate sleeve surrounding pin N and forming such shoulders, not shown; such sleeve constituting the working-surface of the crank-pin, thus readily renewed. The two end-nuts a, n, keep the two pieces C, C, rigidly in place.

The sleeve n1 has a free working it upon pin N and is rigidly attached to Ithe connecting rod d, by shrinking the latter upon the same. The sleeve n1 mayA be split on one side as -shown in Fig. 2, or on both sides, so

that the wear may be taken up. The con necting rod d, is made thin, so as to reduce the dead space between the displacers C, C

tions C, C left free by the rod, to the opening required for giving free passage for the air .or steam to and from the piston. The lower part of the piston is slotted as shown in Fig. 2, to give free play for the oscillations of the rod al, the slot being preferably formed upon a chill in casting it. The connectingrod d is rigidly attached to wrist-pin P, P which oscillates with it. This pin is made lin three parts. Its left-hand end P has a due working tit in the piston, its right hand end,

-formed integral 4with it, is reduced to a core P screw threaded upon the outer end. At .the junction of P and P', the latter may be 'enlarged to form a square seat for rod d;

or the rod-seat maybe round, a key P2 Figs. 1e

-2 and 8 confining the rod rigidly upon t pin. A sleeve P3, of equal diameter and working surface with part P, abuts upon the lrod d, and is firmly forced home upon. the Asame by an annular nut I" of an outside diameter and finish equa] to that of P and P3.

`Otherwise the piston D may be formed and packed in any usual way. f

When air and condensedwater cease to issuey through the drain-hole X, the water being preferably carried off by an inserted tube,-plug X is replaced. The working steam may be made more stable by retaining t-he air in chamber B, B, instead of allowing it to escape by the removal of drainage-plug X. Insuch a case greater refrigeration can be applied to the cooling section B', and the refrigerating medium vmay be water, as with an engine worked with air perse; the temperature of the water being regulated to obtain the best results by cont-rolling the amount of water passing over the cooling surfaces as below described, diminishing it to increase its 'temperature and vice versa.

The gas-flames pass to the left, Fig. l and rise as indicated by the arrows, through two openings dotted in Fig. 2, into the iues g, g, which are studded with heat-pegs, uni-ting in chamber g and escaping by smoke-pipe H. Thus far thesteam in the motor is of the pressure corresponding to the weight of cap a3 only. Motion being now given to. the fly-wheel, the piston descends, closing port t and enlarging the space T, with corresponding lowering of the pressure therein.y In consequence the valve a opens, and steam from space Av of the regulator enters space T, until equilibrium the pressure in chamber-A to be 18 lbs., that in chamber T being the same while the piston is in its lowest position, and assuming the displacement of the piston to be twice the capacity. of space T when the' piston is up the pressure in T will be nearly 3x18 or 54 lbs., just before t is uncovered by the piston. That post t being then uncovered, the steam in spaceT will rush into the space below the piston, thereby depleting the space T, so that duringthe next descent of the" piston more steam will pass from space A through valve a into space T; and soon, untll the pressure under t-he piston, when .in its uppermost position, is equal to the pressure above the, piston at the time port t is uncovered by it, which under the above assumption would be 54 lbs. When the piston is in its uppermost position, it has just completed its working stroke, therebyI depleting the steam under it of corresponding heat.; and as the steamv has then also expanded into its maximum space, the presis down, the steam has been compressed into its minimum space, and has been heated by being hurled by centrifugal force against the lower hot surfaces; it therefore has then about its maximum pressure.

VWhile the minimum pressure` under the piston remains at 54 lbs. the steam in space T above the piston will rise and fall between 54x18 lbs., without delivering any steam through port t and without receiving any from space A. But as soon' as the minimum pressure below the piston falls below about 54 lbs., steam will again pass through space T as described.- Instead of a port t', covered and uncovered by the piston, a valve may be placed at any point 1n a channel t leading from the space `above the piston to the space below the piston such valve opening toward the latter space, as. shown and described in my Patent Number 623,137, dated April 18, 1899. `When the pressure in chamber A rises above that corresponding to the weight of cap a3, the latter will rise until the steam finds'vent through the lateral small ports a* therein. This motor Figs. 1, 2, and 3, on account of the resistance of the air or steam in chamber T, requires an abnormally heavy flywheel. This may be obviated by converting such a motor into a double-acting machine, as here below .described, in various forms. This single acting motor may be o erated for small power and particularly wit air, without regulator A, and with the space T above the piston open to the atmosphere. i

Figs. 4 and 5 represent a double acting motor with rotating displacers, which may be bracketedtoa wall, with its working cylinder in a vertical osition, or bolted to the iloor, vwith the cylinder in a horizontal position; the two figures being central sections at right angles to each other. ,The piston D is coupled to the divided displacer C, C, as above described with referenceto Figs. 1 and 2. The oppositely located displacerC', C receives motion from shaft Q, .through three gear-wheels 3, 4, and 5 the wheel 3 being keyed to shaft Q, and the wheel 5 to shaft 6, xedly attached to displacer C', the middle -wheel 4. revolving upon a stationary stud 7. iThese gear Wheels are inclosed bythe casing 8. This motor 1s represented as being heated by steam entering through pipe 13. The condense wa-- ter may escape through the pipe 9 if the motor 1s a small one and located horizontally. Otherwise a special outlet for the condense-water is provided (not shown). Steam. being the heating medium, it has to be at a high ressure to obtain a high temperature of t e same in case the steam is also the working .medium used with the motor. When bisulid of carbon, or any other suitable substance of low boilin point is Vused as the working medium o the motor, exhaust steam from some other englne;

or steam at a low or atmo heric pressure .may be used asa medium or heating the motor;the direct application of a coal-lire being impracticable. or heating bisuld of carbonv and similar vapor forming subing steam surrounds points. Such lheatthe central heating part of the motor, occupying jacket 10, which is insulated from the cooling parts 11, 11located lou opposite ends, by insulating packing` 12. Alf air is the medium used stances of low boiling,

with the motor, with agas orlcoal furnace 'to heat its eentralpart or jacket 10, water through the end-jack-v would be circulated ets 11,11, entering at 13 and escaping -at 14. Either the .inlet 13 or the outlet 14 is provi-ded with a cock adapted to control the amount-of Water passing through the jacket -11, a reduction of the iiow increasing the pling the displacer C to thepiston D, by

a `connect-ing rod d; the displaeer in that case also made in two par-ts. But

' par-ts B,-B thereof' being cast in one in one vpiece clamped by a set shown, .upon the this construction is faulty. in so far as such connecting-rod may stick -u on the dead point, or turn in the wrong irection, locking the motor.

Figs. 6 to '14 inclusive represent a double acting motor, specially arranged as an airmotor, but also applicable as a steam-motor.`

The modiiic-ationsapplied t-o this motor, as compared to Figs. 1, 2, are as follows: There are two cooling and heating chambers B, B the -two heating parts B, B'thereof being cast i-n one piece, and the two cooling ieee; the tw-o pieces being'separated by-as estos packing M; The' working cylinder E .is placed over one oftheSe chambers B, B in this ease over the left hand chamber: There are two corresponding one being formed in two to admit of the passage of the rod (Z, which cou-ples it to the piston D; and thc right one screw, as shaft 16, upon which shaft the nearest half of the left hand displacer is tixedly keyed, the cut away porti-ons C the two dispiacere beiner 180,0 from cach other. Between the twodispiacere the shaft 1G passesthrough bearing box 17 prefer-` v ably in two halves Fig. 6*, adj-usted for wear by setscrews 18. The raised col-lar upon box 17 abuts endwise against the casting, therebyI obstructing leakage. .This journal is oiled thro-ugl-i a tube 19 screwed into the casting, with a passage for the oil tothe shaft as-shown in Fig. 6. The `lubricating flu-id in chamber K, under pressure through port Kas named, flows to the shaft Q,

As the lead of the cut away parts C5 of the displacers should-not be the same with air and withsteam the displaeers are made rotatively adjustable Wlth relation to the crank N. To this end each half of the left hand displaeer is made in two concentric to the shaft, and the other ,and clamped upon C4.

The setscrew which confines-the right hand displacer to the shaft, is a ready means for adjusting the lead ofthis displacer to correspond to that of the other, therefrom. The dis lacers are preferably balanced in every irection, as shown in Figs. 6 and 8, and so that when adjustable forlead as described the core-piece C2 is balanced within itself, and the annular piece tively upon the piece C2,

'C3 is bal-ancedwithin itself as shown 1n `ig. 8. These displacers may be formed as heavy as their perfect balance will allow so as to serve las a y-wheel. Wherrused 20, jacket- 'infr the cooling parts is necessary.

Assuming the minimum pressures above and below piston D to be 45 lbs., and the pressure in the space A to be that of the atmosphere or about 15 lbs. and the air at that pressure to be compressed above and below piston 31 to 45 lbs., then: In the position of piston D shown in Fig. 8, the air above piston 31, of 45 lbs. pressure, is in communication, through channel 32 and port t just uncovered by piston D, with the air below the piston, then about at its minimum pressure, as explained with reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 3. If that pressure is below 45 lbs., air will flow from above piston 31 to below piston D. Upon the said pistons 31 and D having then reached their lower positions, the air above piston `31, thus depleted, will have a pressure below 15 lbs., causing valve29I to open, and air to pass through it from the regulator-space A,-

The purpose of the waterin regulator space A which moistens the air as named, is to give to the air greater capacity and rapidity for absorbing and rejecting heat and to increase its pressure at a given This etfect can be increased by more or less heating the water in space A, by turning the fire-gases through jacket I, as above described.

Channel 33 connects the workingspacef above pistonA D,.with the right hand heating and cooling chamber B, B. A cock 34 serves to regulate the speed of the motor, or to stop the same, by contracting or closing channel 33. For the purpose of keeping the bearings ofthe shaft cool, they are in corporatod in the upper cooling casingB, the Hanges ofthe upper and lower casings, and the intervening packing M, being for downwardly as shown in Figs. 6a, 13 and 21, whereby the heating surface is a little reduced. Each heating and cooling chamber B, B its lowest pointwith a drainage cock X Fig. 6, or in place thereof and when useu as a steam-trap, any ordihe motor is represented as being heated by gas ame like Figsul and 2.

This is arranged so as to automatically control the pressure in chamber A, by causing that pressure to more or less close damper V Figs. 1, 6, and 15, as follows: A hat shaped rubber-packing 40 Fig. 13, closes the sleevellkeopening in the cap 39. The flange of the hat-packing 40 is confined between cap 39 and a flange formed upon vthe inverted U frame 42 as shown in Fig. 13. Or the ca 39 and the iiange upon U frame may merged into one piece, as shown in Fig. 12, wherein the rubber piece 40 packs the cap 39 also. The plunger 43 fits loosely into said hat-shaped packing 40, its upper end being guided in the upper end of shown. A beam 44 fulcrumed in the slot formed in by a pin 45 the short end of the beam Figs. 14 and 15, being pivoted upon a stud 46 formed upon, or attached tocap 39', and the end of the long arm of beam 44 is pivoted by a pending rod 46a Fi formed upon the stem o? valve .V, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15. The plunger-stem 43 is screw threaded above its slotted part, upon which threads a. nut 47 which may be screwed higher or lowe A spiral'spring 48, which surrounds the plunger-stem, abuts, above against the end of frame 42, and below upon nut 47, thereby bearing the'plunger downwardly with afforce increased or decreased by screwing nut 47 up or down. Thus the pressure in chamber A which acts against the rubber-cup' 40 and the plunger 43,-when greater than the force of the spring 48 which bears down upon the plunger, causes the free endof beam 44 to rise accordingly, opening valve V wider, and thus allowing more ofthe furnace gases to pass straight up the smoke-pipe, H, instead vice versa.

The pump is supported by pillars U2, U2, so that the stuffing-boxes `and 52 are accessible. Both these smiling-boxes may be omitted 'when the pump is not in use,- by using cap 58Fi'g. 16, which forms the cover for cylinder E, and houses the nod 49, In Fig. 18

'two'stuifing boxes 50 and 52 Fig. 15 are merged into one, 'whereiny the acklng is set up by four set-screws 59, which "crowd the packing sidewise against each other, and lengthwise along the rod, as well as in the line of` their-advance, the `shell of the box being tapered, as shown in Fi s. '18.and 19, to facilitate the crowding of t e packing in the Adirect-ions named. The pumping mai chine, Fig. 18 is so arranged, that afterthe motor'is set into motion by a starting bar clasping shaft Q, or \by a temporary flywheel, the protrudingl Vend of shaft Q, is

capped by cap G0, whereby all leakage is the same as a'. rcommon steam-engine is to its boilers; suchconnecting pipes in this motor being 'madeas sho-rt as practicable to avoid unnecessary dead-s aces, wherein the Huid remains inactive.' uch separate location of the cylinder/is particularly applicable in motors of large power, wherein four or more heaters and coolers supply one working piston. Such a motor is represented in Figs. 21 and 22, wherein the left-hand vessel B is connected to and feeds the lower end of a working-cylinder E^by channel 6l;

and the right-hand vessel B 4is vconnected toand feeds the upper end ofcylinder E by 'channel 62 whereinl a speed regulating valve is located controlled by hand-wheel 6 3. The displacers inithe twovess'elsB, B receive motion through'r'od, which couples their cranks 65, with the engineico crank 66 upon the main shaft 67, this shaftl receiving motion by the two return connecting rods, 68, {38, 69 being the wrist pins, 70 the cross head, 71 the piston-rod, and 72, 72 the cross-head guides. The guides may be preferably duplicated, one pair being placed close to each of the wrist-pins. T3 is a pillow-block, 74, 74 are shaft-bearings, and 75, 75 are braces. These heating and cooling vessels B, B may be extended endwise, or several of them may be connected endwise; and they may be located'two or more on each side of the cylinder E, the coupling-rod 64 in that case connecting four r l or more cranks 65 to the main crank 66. As

to the power practically attainable, an estimate based upon well established data, shows that two heating and cooling drums seven feet in diameter and 15 feet long, will produce about 1460 horse power-four such drums producing nearly 3000 H. P. V

As the displacers, like a piston of a usual steam-engine, are alternately exposed to both the heating and cooling surfaces during every revolution, it is preferable to coat themA with a non-radiating and non-conducting surface such as enamel; or they may be coated with, or formed of papier mch or other material serving that purpose. It is more important that the material or coating of the displacers be non-radiators of heat, than non-conductors, particularly as thefcentrifugal force imparted to the elastic {iuid diminishes its pressure upon the displacer. A non-exhaust-motor of this nature presents great facilities for perfect lubrication, which is made more permanent and is'preserved from caking and incrustations by mixing with the working fluid a lubricating material which is neutral to the lfluid andunaifected. by heat such as fine graphite, soap-stone, or flour of sulfur, according tov the elastic motor-Huid used. The `ad vantages ofsuch a rotary displacer'as compared to a reciprocating displacer are: Greater simplicity of mechanism. Greater facilities for housing and protecting the operating parts. A greater number of revolutions in a giventime under equal conditions, which -is largely favored by the centrifugal ,force imparted tothe elastic iuid use d by the revolving displacers, such force causing the fluid to strike the surfaces with corresponding impact, which greatly adds to the rapidity with which heat is absorbed and surrendered. Furthermore the displacers perform the additional duty of acting as tlv-wheel. It is not a peremptory condition that the heating parts be below and the cooling parts above. But with a condensable working medium such as steam, it is preferable to arrange the relative location of the cold and hot parts as represented, so that the condense;water, when the motor is not in operation or `at any time, will be drained into the part impinged upon by the lire with its conse uent revaporation. The specific construction of such a nonexhaust motor defore its dimensions weight, and radiating A surfaces large. If in such a motor, no heat is `abstracted by water, its economical advantages over a common steam-engine, having outside radiation, would be the saving of all the latent heat of the steam usually escaping with the exhaust, except so far as it is utilized in heating the feed-water of the boiler. bestengine about of the total heat imparted by the boiler. On the other hand, if a minimum of size and weight is the main object, the means effective pressure should be raised by extracting heat from the working fluid externally as described to any practicable extent-such heat being of course lost, andthe motor less economical accordingly.

The motor, if comparatively small, is reversed by mounting the annular section C3 Fig. 9, upon the central section C2 as a loose eccentric of an ordinary steam-engine is mounted upon a crank-shaft, as shown, the fly-wheel being turned in the new direction by hand or by a bar. Or the reversingmay be done by belts in an ordinary way. Heat conveying pegs Z3 Fig. 9, may also be incorporated in the cooling part, when air is the principal working medium used. They may be applied as shown in Fig. 9; or if the cooling part is covered by a jacket, such pegs would connect the two walls ofthe jacket as shown in Fig. 6.

The cock 34 located in the channel 33 leading from the right-hand Huid-chamber to the upper end of the cylinder E is automatically controlled by a usual speed governor located in the fly-wheel in the usual way; or as follows: Figs. 14 and 15 a weight '76 is loosely tted upon radial rod 77', and is pressed down toward the hub ofthe fly-wheel by spring 78', the tension of which is such that it will yield with too great a. speed. The radial motion of weight 76 is transmitted through double elbow lever 7 9 to the grooved sleeve 80 'which turns in unison with the fly-wheel and is adapted to slide freely upon t-he hub of thesame. Lever 79 is ivoted upon a bar 81 journaled in ears ormed upon the two adjacent wheel spokes; The short arms ofy elbow lever 79 are pivoted to the weight 76', with The net amount so lost is in thel in their cosines when moving up or down.

The long arms en d in `buttons entered in the i left hand groove of the sleeve 80, whereby1 the latter is made to move to the left, closing tlie'cock when the' weight moves outwardly, and vice versa. rlwo links 81 are suspended by two straps 82 from a stud 33. The right hand ends of the links 81 arc pivoted to the short forked ends of. lever 84, and their left hand ends enter the right hand groove of sleeve 80, whereby they transmit the motion of the sleeve to the lever 84 which is pivoted in ears 85 Fig. 14.- on boX K. The long end of lever 84. transmits its motion by link S6 to the crank arm 87 attached to the spindle of cock 34.

' The governor described, or any other suitable construction of speed governor, may be arranged to govern the motor either by throttling the passage of fluid through a channel (as 33) between the working cylinder and heating and cooling chamber; or

by opening more or less a by-pass valve in a channel communicating from one side of'. the piston to the other,so as a to reduce the differential or effective pressure tending to move the pistons, as set forthin my afore# said Patent Number 623,137. Y
